A comprehensive pictorial history of all MG cars that were produced from 1930 up to those in production in 2006 when the Rover group collapsed. This is the 'go-to' reference book if you want to compare your Magnettes, MGAs, Midgets or Maestros!
Providing a nostalgic trip down memory lane for any post-war car enthusiast, the text is generously illustrated with original line drawings, and black & white plus colour period photos. All models are covered including sports derivatives, limited editions, vans, estates and coupes, with a section on motorsport achievements and TV and movie appearances. Contemporary factory advertising slogans are featured throughout. Complementing the historical content, technical specifications, ongoing production changes and build figures are also included for completeness.
Trevor Alder has been driving classic cars for many years and has written and compiled several publications researched from his massive self-indexed magazine archive, including several other titles in Veloce's highly successful A Pictorial History series. A bookshelf-must for anyone interested in a slice of Britain's sporting motoring heritage.
Born in the 1960s, Trevor Alder was raised and educated in Essex, England and was eagerly involved in the family horticultural business from a young age. He moved on to become a technical author in the data communications business, employed first by Marconi then BT in his home town of Ipswich. He now works in the electricity distribution industry.
Trevor has been an eager collector of historical printed material from a young age, which has led on to the publication of several books. His collection includes full runs of several UK motoring magazines dating back 90 years, as well as a collection of early Range Rovers.
In 2006 he and his father self built a six-wheel Land Rover which they drove to the Sahara desert and back. Trevor was also responsible for the Transport Source Books road-test reprint book series back in the 1990s.
He is married with grown up children, and enjoys photography, cycling and a new hobby: driving his electric cars.
